Bernardston Selectboard, Fire Dept. request changes to Fire Station design plan
Last year, Frank “Bud” Foster donated to Bernardston his property at 12 Church St., in the foreground, which is adjacent to the present Fire Station, to use for a Fire Station addition.

Mutual Aid Disaster Relief: The Response (live) Print
“There is a really great opportunity in the vacuum of disaster relief” according to a co-founder of Mutual Aid Disaster Relief, or MAD Relief for short, who goes by the name Rain. She continues on to say that “mutual aid in general, [in response to] COVID, has really helped to reinforce the idea that mutual aid doesn’t have to be just disaster response. There are living disasters every day in our communities, and so mutual aid is necessary all the time.”
With origins going back to Common Ground in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina in 2007, MAD Relief is a grassroots disaster relief network based on the principles of solidarity, mutual aid, and autonomous direct action.
